We stayed at New Miyako in August of 2006, shortly after they renovated a new wing. I highly recommend New Miyako, not only for it's gorgeous (i mean gorgeous!) decor & landscaping, but the service is impeccable. It felt like we were at a four star hotel paying decent prices! The green & black tea in our room every morning was delicious, bathroom had a fog-proof mirror and heated toilets with built-in bedet! haha not that we ever used it.
My favorite part about staying at the New Miyako was that it's right across the street from Kyoto Station, the largest train hub in the city - so it was easy for us to go sightseeing in remote parts of Japan and come back to our hotel the same day. It's also a great reference point for taxi drivers when going back home after a late night - thank goodness they all seemed to know new miyako hotel or kyoto station!
It's also within walking distance of Toji Temple - a place with a huge & beautifully landcaped garden that has many little oasises which you're going to want to spend more than one day exploring ;-)
From the moment you walk in, you'll be greeted with warm and impeccable service - almost everyone speaks relatively good english. Alot of our best experiences in Kyoto were recommended by some of the staff here. The landscaping in the bamboo garden is gorgeous and there's also a chapel in the courtyard that's surrounded by fountains and a water moat - it looked stunning lit up at night from our bedroom window!
There are these cute little drink vending machine rooms on every floor if you need a drink or some cable tv cards.. hah! Beware of the japanese porn on half of the cable stations in your hotel room. If you need a midnight snack, the hot and cold food vending machines downstairs will do the trick
Other tips:
-Even though they have 2 computers downstairs with internet access, they're almost always occupied. Go to TopsCafe down the block for internet instead, you have to pay a little fee but they have private booths, comics and free drinks. I wish we would have done this sooner.
-The little cafe next door to the hotel has EXCELLENT coffee & espresso - don't bother with the pancakes though....
Such a beautiful hotel - I loved staying here. Theme: HotelPrice: US$120-180 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: across from kyoto station, not far from toji temple
